2017 NFL Mock Draft: Where did all the Quarterbacks Go?
By Jon Dove
9. Indianapolis Colts- Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU
Indianapolis has spent a lot of recourses of the past few years to beef up the offensive line. Those decisions have been met with mixed results, but some of the players need time to develop. They can still help protect Andrew Luck by providing him with a running game. Leonard Fournette would provide Luck with someone he can lean on to move the chains.
10. San Diego Chargers- Jamal Adams, S, LSU
The Chargers defense is slowly headed in the right direction. They should continue to build on that side of the ball and make life easier on Philip Rivers. Jamal Adams is a versatile and playmaking safety who knows how to attack the football.
11. Carolina Panthers- Jalen Tabor, CB, Florida
Carolina gambled this past offseason by letting Josh Norman leave via free agency and it didn’t pay off. Their secondary has been torched all year long and more talent needs to be added. Jalen Tabor is an instinctive defender who possesses elite ball skills.
12. New Orleans Saints- Sidney Jones, CB, Washington
It doesn’t appear as if Drew Brees is slowing down which means the Saints have a few more years to make a Super Bowl run. The key will be how quickly they can fix the defense. That starts in the secondary where Sidney Jones would represent an immediate upgrade.
